Plan Description
Prepare with confidence for the Half Distance Triathlon in Ruidoso, New Mexico—a race known for its mountain altitude, cool lake swim, and challenging elevation gains on both the bike and run. This beginner-focused six-month plan is purpose-built to help you meet the course-specific demands while staying injury-free and race-day ready.
If you've maintained your fitness then you're ready to take on this 24-week training plan.
🌄 Why This Plan Works for the Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon:
✅ Mountain-Ready Endurance
Train for the rolling terrain and high-altitude environment with progressive long bike and run workouts that mimic the race course's climbs toward Hondo and the undulating village roads of Midtown Ruidoso.
✅ Cool Water Swim Conditioning
Structured pool workouts paired with open-water practice prepare you for Grindstone Lake’s cool, clear waters. Focused swim technique sessions build efficiency and confidence for race morning.
✅ Strength for Climbs and Descents
Targeted strength sessions build lower-body and core resilience—critical for the bike's sustained climbs and the run’s rolling hills through mountain neighborhoods.
✅ Low-Injury Risk Structure
The training builds gradually from a solid aerobic base, reducing the risk of overuse injuries while allowing your body to adapt to increasing volume and intensity.
✅ Personalized Coach Support
Need help? Every athlete following this plan gets email access to a certified triathlon coach—because your questions deserve answers.
✅ Smart Workouts with Purpose
Each swim, bike, and run session uses Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) and heart rate zones to guide your effort—no guesswork, just focused training.
Whether it’s your first Half Distance Triathlon or your next personal best, this plan helps you build fitness, boost confidence, and perform strong on race day—even in the mountains of Ruidoso.
